No, what I said was it looked like a Bentley hood strapped on a VW, though
where the hell the back came from I couldn't say. I know it's way too
small for a Bentley, but if you look at the bonnet/front, it looks a lot
like a Bentley Mark VI (example is http://www.darkforce.com/royce/mk6.gif
). Not to say it actually is, but people have strapped Rolls Royce hoods
on a VW before.
The back, I couldn't say. It looks oddly familiar, but I can't place it.
Particularly if it comes from some out of the way place, it's entirely
reasonable it might have been cobbled together from junked high-priced
diplomatic vehicles from the embassy and slapped onto a VW and given
another life to some enterprising mechanic.
What it certainly is, though, is in need of a bath.
